They SHOULD do away with Michigan vs Jackson.

If someone decides to voluntarily waive their right to counsel and go ahead and talk to the police, even though he does have a lawyer, where in the Constitution does it say he is not allowed to talk to the police if he wants to? Absurd.

Isn’t it amazing that people were arrested and tried in this country for 180 years on a routine unconstitutional basis because the suspects were not read a Miranda warning? And all of our most celebrated jurists during those years like Holmes and Cardozo just happened to miss the boat on this unconstitutionality!

Who knows what else we are still doing unconstitutionally after over two centuries but that a liberal justice hasn’t yet told us about?

If you read the briefs in this case, you would never come to the conclusion that he guy voluntarily waived his right to counsel. If the CIA treated a terrorist like this guy was treated, Obama would have that CIA agent prosecuted.

Read the briefs before you make your comment. You look like an idiot otherwise.
